  How horrific to be an FA that dodged a fatal accident only to be found in another

  I spent years making liveries of my home country’s airlines and I’ve always wondered why most if not all of them have the “Inflate tires with nitrogen only” warnings on them. Never knew that that thing was written in blood. Another great video as always, Chloe!

  Thanks alot for covering the worst Mexican air catastrophy.<br><br>Very few english speaking channels talk about Mexicana 940. <br>Most of the people who talk about it are Mexican/spanish speaking channels.<br><br>Many forget this is not only the worst air disaster happening in Mexico it is also the worst carsh of the year 1986 and the worst crash for the B727.

  And yet the operators of Nationair Canada (Nigerian Airways flight 2120) didn&apos;t learn the lesson and caused the deaths of over 200 people in a similar manner.

  I very much appreciate it how you tell us about the victims of the tragedies you cover. We must remember the human impact as well as the procedural / technological lessons, which you also cover very well.

  Excellent channel. I am an airline captain and, like most pilots, &nbsp;I do study or I am familiar with the pivotal accidents in aviation history, &nbsp;but since discovering your channel a few days ago, I&apos;ve come across 3 that were simply horrific and that I&apos;d never heard of. Great job! <br>One accident that has fascinated me is the BOAC Hermes (G-ALDN) Sahara desert crash in 1952. Precious little info about it, though. I saw a documentary made years ago about it, but I haven&apos;t been able to find it again. Maybe a future subject for you ? Thanks

  Excellent video, as always! I&apos;m a passenger locomotive engineer (driver) in the U.S. There are times where the train feels heavy or different than it usually does, and the cause is usually sticking brakes on one of the coaches, or a parking brake that got missed. Trust your instincts when something feels off.

  If you aren&apos;t a teacher or lecturer of some sort, you&apos;re missing your calling. These vids present such difficult and technical subjects in such a relatable way and they never get dull. Great stuff.

  The reason I love this content creator is because they often do substantive and interesting videos about lesser known disasters. &nbsp;Thanks, Chloe!

  Wow, this was devastating. Those poor people. It&apos;s one thing to be sitting in the back of a plane totally unaware as the crew mismanage a controlled flight into terrain and your world just ends without suffering, but it&apos;s another thing entirely to be in the back as the plane explodes, fire rips through the fuselage and then it breaks apart in mid-air, with so many people still being conscious as it falls to the ground. Imagine how unlucky you have to be as that flight attendant to survive a deadly crash years earlier only to die, along with your entire family, in this crash, and with no fault by your husband as the pilot either. May the souls of all the victims rest in peace.
